Chapter 9: A Life of Ordinary

The next moment

Regardless of whether Xu Xing is putting on a show by saying these words

However

Mirror Master: Xu Xing

Arrival: Soul.

Upon meeting, Zhao Yunniang softly and gently conveyed this significant news to Xu Xing

However... just as he became aware of his return to the real world, the fate of his "Ordinary Life (White)" unexpectedly showed signs of disintegration, as if it would collapse at any moment

Your gray fate of "untimely death" has been changed to a white fate of "a life of ordinariness"

In the dungeon, Zhao Yunniang once again appeared before Xu Xing alongside Old Li.

Master Ma, seeing that he was a scholar, decided to waive this punishment. After all, it would be somewhat inappropriate for Xu Xing, as a scholar, to go back to brushing horses.

However, at the same time as he was cursing, the column for [Fate] finally showed a change, shifting from [Death by Misfortune (Gray)] to [A Life of Ordinary (White)]

Ding 24

On the golden, mirror-like surface, a change in fate has occurred

As he spoke, he also cast a glance at Zhao Yunniang

I am so adept at being an official

He had no feelings for Zhao Yunniang, but they ultimately spent one night as a couple. In addition, Zhao Yunniang left a tael of silver for the prison guard, improving his meals. He still remembered this kindness.

After the change

If he is not mistaken, his fate in the Fengxi Kingdom was originally white, representing a life of ordinariness. However, after his reincarnation, he defied the heavens to change his destiny and successfully became an eighth-rank stable supervisor in the Tai Pu Si through his skills in mathematics. As a result, he was deemed "virtue does not match position," lacking the noble aura in his fate, which led to his encounter with a deadly calamity and imprisonment.

Husband

At the same time, Xu Xing was also unaware of what was happening to him

He does not want to live a truly ordinary life for his entire life

The opportunity to change one's destiny is right at this moment

Xu Xing considers himself a part of the Filial Piety Hall. In the future, when Xu Xing becomes successful, it can be rounded up to mean that they have also become successful. Although they harbor some dissatisfaction towards Xu Xing in their hearts, under Xu Xing's display, any discontent will transform into recognition of Xu Xing.

Xu Xing uses the "Dao Fruit" to solidify his fate through natural selection

I have simply never witnessed a true immortal with my own eyes

Perhaps, it is not necessary to expend life energy, but rather to transform it through other means. However, since I do not practice martial arts nor cultivate immortality, in the heavenly prison, I am left with only this physical body, which is why I have consumed my life energy

The word "none" in the column of [Dao Fruit] slowly transformed into the four large characters [A Life of Ordinary (White)]

The cause of illusion transforms into the fruit of reality

Raise his lower limit

Princess Anren is getting married, and the Emperor has decreed a general amnesty. Although your group of officials is not included in the amnesty, your life has been temporarily spared...

Words flow on the mirror's surface

He once again firmly believed in the existence of immortality cultivation

There will inevitably be a price to pay

And the cost is the consumption of my life energy

However, it is difficult to find a celestial being, yet martial arts are not hard to acquire. In the dungeon world, there exists Master Ma's family inheritance of internal skills, and perhaps a way can be found to obtain it. Even if Master Ma does not offer it, there are surely other places that possess manuals of internal skills

Xu Xing stared motionlessly at the bronze ancient mirror in his mind

... ...

Flattering superiors, uniting subordinates

While strolling and lost in thought

In recent days, my health has improved due to a meat-based diet, but I have once again incurred a deficit

However, once this statement was made, coupled with actual actions, the brothers of the Xiaoyi Hall found him much more agreeable.

Time flow rate: 1 to 5

However, Xu Xing willingly accepted this punishment, stating that as a brother of the Filial Piety Hall, he must abide by the rules and penalties of the Hall; otherwise, it would lead to chaos, and that is his fault

Yet, one happened to encounter the ambitious yet incompetent Emperor Chongming, a foolish ruler.

Xu Xing gently held Zhao Yunniang's delicate hand and spoke softly

It is just... seeking immortality is too difficult, too difficult...

Fate: A life of ordinariness (White)

World: Late Qing and Republic of China (Various Heavens)

At this moment, the bronze mirror is right in his mind

For example, in his hometown of Kansai, there is a martial arts master named Iron Palm Immortal. He is just over forty years old, yet has a white beard and hair, with a face that shows signs of aging, making him appear like a man in his sixties or seventies.

In ancient times, common people who succumbed to plagues and disasters could be considered to have lived an ordinary life

But what about the future

Xu Xing was punished by washing the ten or so warhorses of the Filial Piety Hall

The aftereffects of consuming the Musk Dragon Powder that night, comparable to the wedding chamber.

May I ask whether to choose the solidification of the "Dao Fruit," transforming the illusory cause into a tangible result

Who knows why I happened to encounter this dog emperor, the Chongming Emperor

He appears weak and listless

More of the ladies informed me about this matter

Only by holding an official position can one rise above others

A four-year-old chestnut horse was doused with a bucket of warm water, as he walked slowly, brushing the horse while cursing the Chongming Emperor of Fengxi Kingdom

Do not even mention immortals; even martial arts, he is only half-convinced. After all, the martial arts experts he has encountered cannot create a three-foot energy wall, cannot walk on walls, and cannot prolong life.

The fate of a "simple life" may allow Xu Xing to temporarily evade disasters and even live a life free from worries.

Lord Han informed me that he will leverage his connections within the Ministry of Justice to strive for your exemption from the death penalty

The advantage of the ancient bronze mirror lies in its ability to solidify one's destiny

To put it bluntly, this is an insult to scholars

He has already altered his fate and has long known that he will not die.

People strive for higher places, while water flows to lower levels. Xu Xing entered the Wei Jing Academy without notifying everyone, which is indeed inappropriate. However, when there is an opportunity to study, who would want to constantly lick blood from the edge of a knife

The clothing has also transformed into loose robes, concealing the figure

He considers himself to be quite competent in his official duties

However, upon hearing that Princess Anren was suddenly getting married, he couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise. According to his knowledge, Princess Anren's wedding date was set for March of next year; the sudden advancement of the marriage was likely related to the ancient bronze mirror in his mind.

At the moment when the fate began to change, it felt as if a considerable part of my body had been emptied out

Therefore, he had long since given up on the ethereal pursuits of martial arts and immortality, and instead focused intently on how to enter the officialdom and become an official

... ...

Fengxi Nation, Heavenly Prison

The Legend of the Immortal in Fengxi State

The territory of Fengxi Kingdom requires at least over a decade to traverse completely

Upon seeing this, Xu Xing nodded quietly to himself

The slow progress is not surprising

Walking unsteadily every day, it seems that there are only a few days left to live

The Dao fruit: none

The next day

Evening

Xu Xing placed the brush bucket on the ground and closed his eyes, returning to the real world

Furthermore, a life of ordinariness does not imply that one will not encounter natural disasters or man-made calamities that could lead to sudden death during that lifetime

Speak softly, this is against the rules

As a court official, he had heard some things

Zhao Yunniang also changed her attire, letting down her twin buns and switching to a married woman's chignon. She removed the gold hairpin and silver hairpin that she had previously worn in her hair, and simply secured her hair with a wooden hairpin.

Xu Xing lay on the straw stack, taking deep breaths of air to relieve fatigue, pondering quietly.
